This is important. The Alaska gas pipeline is not a done deal despite Trump’s announcement. alaskapublic.org/news/politic...
Trump claims South Korea will invest $50B in Alaska gas pipeline. Not so fast, Korean officials say

$1.8 BILLION stolen to fund traitors. "This is many levels of outrage. They’re screwing Congress’s instruction. They’re really abusing and exploiting the court. And of course, they’re lying to us and [it’s] all about trying to whitewash the January 6th episode." newrepublic.com/article/2106...
Transcript: Trump IRS Shakedown Takes Darker Turn: “Stinks...Illegal”
As Trump reaches a “settlement” with DOJ that hands $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to a fund he controls, a legal expert explains just how corrupt this truly is—and why it might backfire for the GOP.

Tiny Coldfoot, Alaska turned out to stop the proposed Ambler road when @deptofinterior.bsky.social Secretary Burgum, @govdunleavy.bsky.social, and Congressman @nickbegich.bsky.social this week. Thank you to those who understand that Alaska should remain wild and support subsistence.
Even though the Trump Admin. will include Ambler mining in its FAST-41 expedited permitting program, federal laws still must be complied with. @deptofinterior.bsky.social states that mining projects take 2-5 years to permit in Australia and Canada (more in the US). www.doi.gov/pressrelease...

I'm mourning the permanent loss of NW Alaska's Arctic region's wild lands as the NPRA will be covered with oil exploration and likely development after today's lease sale. This is a direct result of Trump's overturning of the previous, scientifically sound, management plan.
